# clGetCommandQueueInfo(3clc)

Query information about a command-queue.

## NAME

clGetCommandQueueInfo - Query information about a command-queue.

##

**cl\_int clGetCommandQueueInfo(cl\_command\_queue** *command\_queue***, cl\_command\_queue\_info** *param\_name***, size\_t** *param\_value\_size***, void \****param\_value***, size\_t \****param\_value\_size\_ret***);**

## PARAMETERS

*command\_queue*

Specifies the command-queue being queried.

*param\_name*

Specifies the information to query.

*param\_value\_size*

Specifies the size in bytes of memory pointed to by *param\_value*. This size must be ≥ size of return type as described in the table below. If *param\_value* is NULL, it is ignored.

*param\_value*

A pointer to memory where the appropriate result being queried is returned. If *param\_value* is NULL, it is ignored.

*param\_value\_size\_ret*

Returns the actual size in bytes of data being queried by *param\_value*. If *param\_value\_size\_ret* is NULL, it is ignored

The list of supported *param\_name* values and the information returned in *param\_value* by **clGetCommandQueueInfo** is described in the table below.

| | |
| --- | --- |
| **cl\_command\_queue\_info** | **Return Type and Information returned in param\_value** |
| **CL\_QUEUE\_CONTEXT** | Return type: **cl\_context** Return the context specified when the command-queue is created. |
| **CL\_QUEUE\_DEVICE** | Return type: **cl\_device\_id** Return the device specified when the command-queue is created. |
| **CL\_QUEUE\_REFERENCE\_COUNT** | Return type: **cl\_uint** Return the command-queue reference count. **CL\_QUEUE\_REFERENCE\_COUNT** should be considered immediately stale. It is unsuitable for general use in applications. This feature is provided for identifying memory leaks. |
| **CL\_QUEUE\_PROPERTIES** | Return type: **cl\_command\_queue\_properties** Return the currently specified properties for the command-queue. These properties are specified by the *properties* argument in [**clCreateCommandQueue**(3clc)](/clCreateCommandQueue/3clc.md). |

## NOTES

It is possible that a device(s) becomes unavailable after a context and command-queues that use this device(s) have been created and commands have been queued to command-queues. In this case the behavior of OpenCL API calls that use this context (and command-queues) are considered to be implementation-defined. The user callback function, if specified, when the context is created can be used to record appropriate information in the *errinfo*, *private\_info* arguments passed to the callback function when the device becomes unavailable.

## ERRORS

Returns CL\_SUCCESS if the function is executed successfully. Otherwise, it returns the following:

•

Returns CL\_INVALID\_COMMAND\_QUEUE if *command\_queue* is not a valid command-queue.

•

Returns CL\_INVALID\_VALUE if *param\_name* is not one of the supported values or if size in bytes specified by *param\_value\_size* is less than size of return type and *param\_value* is not a NULL value.

• CL\_OUT\_OF\_RESOURCES if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the device.

• CL\_OUT\_OF\_HOST\_MEMORY if there is a failure to allocate resources required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.
